Gouty Tophi

(Keywords: gouty tophi, tophi gout, chiropractic help, arthritis)

Gouty Tophi (singular tophus) are an ugly, deforming, nodular mass of uric acid crystals that may be deposited in different soft tissue areas of the body. They are a typical sign of Gout ..., a very treatable medical condition which is seen also in the chiropractic office periodically. The word tophus comes from the Greek word 'tophos' meaning a porous volcanic stone. Gout is but one of over 100 arthritic conditions.

There is currently an explosive outbreak of gout in the western world, probably related to the poor Western diet, responsible for so many other diseases also. Instead, why not visit our Healthy Living Tips regularly...?

These horrid lumps and bumps can appear in any of the soft tissues, but usually they form in the foot, elbow or fingers. They can also form in the ear and in the spine causing backpain.


HEALTHY LIVING TIPS ...

BackPain ...?

Know you have gout periodically? Make sure you tell your chiropractor.














TREATMENT

The most usual treatment of gout is a course of antiinflammatory drugs when the pain and inflammation begin. In more difficult cases, daily medicine may be needed.

Instead, perhaps consider a diet rich in fruit, salad and veg. That will also lower your cholesterol, fix your constipation and a host of other diet related diseases.


TABBOULEH

Tabbouleh bulgar wheat is a delicious healthy Lebanese parsley, tomato and mint dish. The first step to dealing with gouty tophi is to dramatically increase the fibre in your diet. This increases excretion of both waste products and substances like cholesterol that you have eaten. TABBOULEH BULGAR WHEAT ...
